that could be questioned On what basis do you make this remark, Enigma? ;o) If this were a logic forum then discussion on other topics would be de-emphasized.

Mantra and prayer have a mysterious power that cannot be logically explained.

"Not necessarily, but often"... so, to just say "tautology" might seem significant, because your mind knows what it's thinking, but it doesn't actually convey what you actually mean. It conveyed precisely what I meant. My mind was thinking 'that's a tautology'. Tautologies are at the least, redundant, and depending on context, may not say anything at all. You don't find it significant when somebody says something redundant and likely meaningless without being aware of it? I do. I don't care about your questions, nor do I expect any straight answers to any I might have. Why do you want a question/answer session? And my words conveyed exactly what I meant. There are often times when I could find better grammar with which to speak, but this isn't a grammar forum, so sometimes it is more conducive to ask what a person means, than to point out where grammatical corrections might be made. It seems you were thinking about my awareness of grammar because you saw no meaning in the point being made. I prefer questions because they allow others to explain what is in their own mind. At the same time, I ask myself those same questions because they bring awareness of what is being created in my own mind. To assume I could see what you were thinking when you piped up 'tautology', would simply have added to my imagination, would it not.

You meant to make a meaningless, redundant statement? Why? It's not an issue of correcting grammar. The entire statement is a meaningless redundancy. It can't be corrected. What was the point being made? That a focus of mind is a mind focus? Well, apparently it did, but under normal conditions I would expect the writer to acknowledge the misstatement and perhaps replace it with something useful.
